�Abbey Road� (Released October 1st, 1969)
If you pay close attention to the outfits that The Beatles are wearing in the cover you will notice the following: George is dressed like a gravedigger, John is dressed like a preacher, Ringo is dressed like a Pal Bearer, and Paul is dressed like how funeral parlor�s would dress the dead body. Notice Paul is out of step (his right foot is in front instead of the left in front of the right like the others). Paul is also bear foot, in many societies they burry their dead shoe-less. In the background there is a VW, on the license plate is says �28IF.� A reference to Paul�s age if he lived, but to show it more obviously �Paul would be 28, IF he was still alive.�
Paul is holding a cigarette in his right hand BUT PAUL IS LEFT-HANDED. The picture was not reversed because in many others photos and live footage of the Abbey Road cross walk it is exactly how it seems. In the back of the album is �BEATLES� spelled out on tiles. A crack through the �S� might simulate a flaw within the band. Also on the back, there is a series of shadow dots that imitate a skull if held at an angle. The girl caught in the photo (in the blue dress, yes, we�ve all wondered who she was) is Jane Asher. When the album came out they had a sign up to advertise Abbey Road. The men hired to put it on never finished and left Paul�s head un-done. Many fans thought this too also simulated the change and damage done to his head.
The following song lyrics talk about three Beatles, death and policemen:
�Come Together�: �One and one and one is three.� And �I know you and you know me.� (Paul and Billy).
�She Came In Through The Bathroom Window�: �So I quite the police department and found myself a steady job.�
�Oh! Daring�: �You know I nearly broke down and died.� |
